The international
company says the additional markets, in places such as Indonesia and South
Africa, will better serve customers that require a global scope.

It says the
companies it has partnered with are 'leaders' in their individual markets, and
will bring local expertise in nuances such as VAT and legal specifics.

Scott Graf, Global
President of BCD M&E, said: “There is only so much organic growth that can
happen at the pace we need to expand. When looking to grow specific markets, we
make a strategic decision to either expand our wholly-owned operations or partner
with best-in-class local businesses to serve our customers’ specific needs.

“There are
advantages when partnering with organisations that know the regional and
cultural nuances of doing business in certain markets. We believe that they
will help us provide superior, localized service. They, in return, have the
benefit of working under a recognised, global brand with extensive resources
and expertise.”
